Article by Insong Hwang from Korea Electronics Technology Institute (South Korea) and Joosung Lee from Soonchunhyang University (South Korea).

Technology Acceptance Model (TAM) is widely used to analyze consumer behavior in regards to the acceptance of products featuring new technology. With the growing concern over environmental pollution and global warming, automotive manufacturers around the world have actively engaged in the R&D of green vehicles that are environmentally friendly and highly sustainable. This study suggests TRM for the analysis of consumers’ adoption behavior of electric vehicles. By setting perceived risk factors as external variables, this study identifies factors that have a direct or indirect effect on electric vehicle adoption intention.

近日，海外媒体曝光了几组奥迪新款A8的谍照，新车的外形设计变化不大，只能算是小幅度优化，不过轴距大幅度加长，后门长度变得非常“可怕”。据悉，新款A8可能会命名为“霍希版”（“霍希”是德国人奥古斯特·霍希在1904年创立的汽车品牌，二战前一直专注于制造超豪华轿车），从这也能看出，新款A8很明显是想与奔驰迈巴赫S级“掰掰手腕”，奥迪也想尝尝豪华轿车细分市场的甜头。
